The DC Natives Day is a celebration of the contributions and culture of Native Washingtonians. Council member Kenyan R. McDuffie (D-Ward 5) introduced a resolution to affirm the day, and it was approved on April 2. Organizers Angel Gregorio (Spice Suite, Owner) and Tony Lewis, Jr. (Author, Community Leader) , decided to maintain that momentum this year by creating a celebration on May 20.
